Morning Action Plan Execution
Each day, participants are asked to track if they do the morning activity plan.
Activity Strategy-based Session with Therapist
Participants will meet weekly with a trained therapist to discuss their prescribed activity plan. If unsuccessful, at weekly follow-ups, participants are asked to refine their plan or make a new one. Each session lasts about 30-45 minutes.
Attention-based Session with Therapist
